Graeme Smith Reflects On Cape Town Hosting SA20 Season 4 Final

The SA20 League Commissioner, Graeme Smith, confirmed that Durban will host a playoff fixture for the first time in SA20, saying that it will excite the fans.

"Durban will host a Playoff for the first time, and we’re hoping this will excite the fans, especially because the two best teams of the competition will be playing in that Qualifier 1. We’re also excited to go back to Centurion and Wanderers on Thursday and Friday nights, it’s always key to have the venues close together because the matches are a day apart," Graeme Smith said, as quoted in a release from SA20.

“It's always an interesting challenge for us to get the scheduling of the Playoff matches done and done well. Especially after an exciting Group Match stage that finishes two days before the first Playoff match. I am looking forward to seeing who will be competing," he added.

It was MI Cape Town who clinched the title in the previous 2024-2025 SA20 season. The Cape Town-based franchise won the title after beating Sunrisers Eastern Cape by 76 runs.
